Bellingham strikes as Dortmund sink Sundowns in Club World Cup thriller

https://ift.tt/AQirFNW Borussia Dortmund's English midfielder Jobe Bellingham celebrates scoring his team's third goal against the Sundowns (Federico PARRA) Jobe Bellingham netted his first Borussia Dortmund goal in a gripping 4-3 win over Mamelodi Sundowns at the Club World Cup on Saturday. The English midfielder, who this month followed older brother Jude's footsteps in joining the German side, started for the first time for Dortmund. Sundowns of South Africa took a surprise early lead but Dortmund hit back strongly to triumph in sweltering conditions in Cincinnati at the TQL Stadium and move top of Group F. "It's a really nice bonus (to score), I'm glad we won but there's a lot of things for me to improve on personally and for the team," Bellingham told DAZN. Dortmund coach Niko Kovac had claimed teams from the "south" had an advantage because of the heat, and the Sundowns 11th minute opener appeared to confirm his fears. Lucas Ri...

Mamelodi Sundowns 3-4 Borussia Dortmund: Bellingham scores on inaugural start for the club

https://ift.tt/YnsTL9E Mamelodi Sundowns 3-4 Borussia Dortmund: Bellingham scores on inaugural start for the club Dortmund recovered after going 1-0 down early in the first half, stretching the deficit to 4-1, but Mamelodi Sundowns did not go down without a fight. A late goal worried Niko Kovač’s side, as they desperately tried to maintain their lead, after squandering their previous goal deficit, but they managed to hold on. Dortmund’s win took them to the top spot in Group F, surpassing the South African side, as they look set to qualify for the round of 16. Sundowns, on the other hand, will require a win against Fluminense if they want to progress to the next round. As it happened Borussia Dortmund came into today’s game on the back foot following a goalless draw against Fluminense, while their South African opponents sat at the top of Group F after their 1-0 victory against Ulsan HD on Wednesday. It looked to be going Mamelodi Sundowns’ way as Lucas Ribeiro opened the scor...

5 times Brewers rookie Jacob Misiorowski turned batters into goop

https://ift.tt/SXONnQM If you're not familiar with Milwaukee Brewers rookie sensation Jacob Misiorowski, allow us to bring you up to speed. The 23-year-old pitcher from the Kansas City area is an absolute stud. He's the National League Rookie of the Year favorite (+150 at BetMGM) after just two starts and both the numbers and the eye test back up his front-runner status. In Friday's start against the Minnesota Twins , Misiorowski took a perfect game into the 7th inning before giving up a walk and a home run. It was the first hit he's allowed since reaching the big leagues and his 11 innings of no-hit ball made him the first rookie to accomplish the feat since 1900. This isn't beginner's luck, either. The righty's arsenal is absolutely filthy in the best possible way. Just look at how veteran hitters are completely falling over themselves just trying to figure out where the ball is going. Good lord Jacob Misiorowski literally sat Willi Castro down pic....

Flamengo 1-3 Chelsea: Brazilians baffle Blues, who finish with 10 men

https://ift.tt/tNx71PK Flamengo made Lincoln Financial Field into Maracana North, as the Brazilians came back from a halftime deficit to beat 10-man Chelsea 3-1 in Philadelphia on Friday during Club World Cup group play. Pedro Neto gave the Blues a 13th-minute lead, but Bruno Henrique and Danilo put the Brazilians in front after the hour mark and Nicolas Jackson took a silly red card to further Chelsea's worries. MORE — 2025 Club World Cup schedule, results, tables, how to watch live Wallace Yan came off the bench to make it 3-1, and the red and black jerseys in the crowd got louder and louder as the blue shirts joined their white-wearing players in appearing dazed and confused. Flamengo, managed by ex-Chelsea player Filipe Luis and led by ex-Blues midfielder Jorginho, move to 2-0-0 and will reach the knockout rounds, while Chelsea )(1W-1L) will need to beat Esperance of Tunisia on the final match day to ensure a place in the next stage.

Indiana Pacers Could Take a Page from 2011 Dallas Mavericks' Playbook in NBA Finals

https://ift.tt/Wqd9VRS Indiana Pacers Could Take a Page from 2011 Dallas Mavericks' Playbook in NBA Finals originally appeared on Athlon Sports . In 2011, Jason Kidd, Dirk Nowitzki, head coach Rick Carlisle, and the Dallas Mavericks met the "Big Three" Miami Heat tandem in the NBA Finals. Nine months prior, LeBron James promised that he would win "not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven" titles in Miami, and the Heat were heavy favorites. Instead, the Mavericks sent them packing in six games, running home to South Beach with their tails tucked between their legs.  That 2011 ring was the crowning achievement for both Dirk and Carlisle, who is back in the Finals this year with the Indiana Pacers, who trail the Oklahoma City Thunder two games to three. In a do-or-die Game 6 on Thursday night, All-NBA point guard Tyrese Haliburton is hobbled, prompting Carlisle to possibly do what he did in 2011: give the undersized, overlooked benc...

UFC on ABC 8's Muhammad Naimov draws 'extra energy' fighting closer to Tajikistan

https://ift.tt/Wqd9VRS Muhammad Naimov is proud to be one the few fighters from Tajikistan in UFC, but believes many more will be there soon. Currently, Naimov (12-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) is just one of four fighters from the Central Asian country. Nurullo Aliev, Muin Gafurov and Loik Radzhabov are the other three Tajik representatives on the UFC roster. "Three years ago, four years ago, five years ago, all Tajik people, we all watch UFC," Naimov said at the UFC on ABC 8 media day. "... UFC for us, it was like something different. It was really hard to get to UFC, and in one year, four Tajik people get signed by UFC. So, it's always hard to shoulder and show up, but I always telling myself, I'm fighting for myself first of all. Second thing I represent my name, my family, and then my country. "So, if you think like this, you're not going to perform good: 'All Tajik people watching me.' No, this is energy for me. I really like it. I know Saturday nig...

Kevin Durant Sends Kobe Bryant Message Amid NBA Trade Rumors

https://ift.tt/kGgh46L Kevin Durant Sends Kobe Bryant Message Amid NBA Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports . The 2024-25 Phoenix Suns closed with a 36‑46 mark, finishing 11th in the Western Conference and missing the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2020, sparking a "soft rebuild" discussion in Phoenix. Kevin Durant averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists on 43% 3‑point shooting, remaining one of the league’s most elite scorers.  Yet, with just one year left on a $54.7 million deal , whispers of a move to the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets or Miami Heat, among others, have dominated headlines over the past few weeks. As NBA trade rumors continue to swirl, Durant shared a vintage snapshot on Wednesday of himself, when playing for the Seattle SuperSonics in his rookie year, being guarded by Kobe Bryant, captioning it, "ALWAYS HACKIN MAN… WISH U WERE HERE BEAN."

Phil Foden stars in Manchester City win over Wydad AC but Rico Lewis sees red

https://ift.tt/myavhPM Phil Foden celebrates after giving Manchester City an early lead. Photograph: Caean Couto/IMAGN IMAGES/Reuters This midday kick-off in the Philadelphia heat that ended in victory against Morocco’s Wydad AC offered a glimpse of Manchester City’s hopes for the 2025-26 campaign as their Club World Cup defence was given the best start. It told us that Tijjani Reijnders can operate in the No 6 or “Rodri role” for Pep Guardiola despite being bought to scheme primarily as a No 8. It said that City’s high line remains a weakness though mitigation could be found in their big defensive guns, Rúben Dias and John Stones, being substitutes only. In Phil Foden’s opener-plus-assist for Jérémy Doku’s second we may have witnessed the start of a renaissance after City’s season horribilis last term. Rico Lewis, meanwhile, will pray for better officiating than the late VAR decision that upheld Ramon Abatti showing him a straight red card: City’s right-back swept the ball away...

Jets' Breece Hall Ready To Cash In On 'Potential' After Taking 'Blame'

https://ift.tt/mHdIqZ8 Jets' Breece Hall Ready To Cash In On 'Potential' After Taking 'Blame' originally appeared on Athlon Sports . New York Jets running back Breece Hall is one of the most talented backs in football, but he doesn't have the stats to back it up in his first three NFL seasons. Breece has yet to hit 1,000 yards or have more than five rushing touchdowns in a season, which, for any great back, are two statistics that are usually far higher. But after a season where he, along with most of the offense under Aaron Rodgers, failed miserably, Hall is ready to put that behind him as he copped a fair share of the blame for the offense's inconsistent form. “It's always frustrating when you're not as a team and then individually when you're not winning games and playing as well as you expect,” Hall said . “Then after that, there’s always somebody to blame or somebody that blame gets puts on, and a lot of it just so happened to be on m...

Broncos' Garett Bolles Makes Bold Statement on Denver's Potential With Bo Nix

https://ift.tt/EqpNdbK Broncos' Garett Bolles Makes Bold Statement on Denver's Potential With Bo Nix originally appeared on Athlon Sports . One of the main storylines throughout the early part of the offseason in OTAs and minicamp in Denver was the growth, confidence, and leadership of Bo Nix. Many of his teammates and coaches around him had a lot of praise for the young quarterback's development in his rookie year and expressed excitement for 2025 due to his continued work. Garett Bolles, Nix's left tackle, had one of the boldest takes. Bolles believes Nix can lead the Broncos back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2016. "His composure, his demeanor, his work ethic - everything about him," Bolles said. "He has all the clue, the demeanor and everything you can think of in a quarterback that can lead your team to a Super Bowl. I'm so grateful I get to block for him."

Magic Trade for $197 Million Star, Swap Underperforming $66 Million Vet Plus Haul

https://ift.tt/MmrCWiu Magic Trade for $197 Million Star, Swap Underperforming $66 Million Vet Plus Haul originally appeared on Athlon Sports . The Orlando Magic were coming into the offseason thinking of ways they could get better. For the past two seasons, they've made the playoffs but have been eliminated in the first round. Going forward, it's obvious they want things to change. Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner are the two stars on the team, and they've been doing all they can to lead the Magic to the postseason for two straight years. In order to compete in the Eastern Conference, the Magic knew they would have to improve their roster, and if that meant making a trade, then it seemed like they'd be ready to do it.  Orlando Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope looks to pass the ball as Memphis Grizzlies guard Desmond Bane defends.Petre Thomas-Imagn Images Well, look no further, because that's what they did on Sunday morning, acquiring Desmond Bane from th...

Kubica wins 'mental battle' to triumph at Le Mans

https://ift.tt/RMpNq8S Robert Kubica takes his Ferrari across the line to win the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours (Fred TANNEAU) Former Formula One driver Robert Kubica has long since tackled the demons of a near-fatal accident 14 years ago but Sunday's victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans is arguably his greatest achievement yet.  The 40-year-old Pole roared to victory in his bright yellow "privateer" Ferrari to give the Italian marque a third consecutive win in the most famous endurance race in the world. In a thrilling 93rd edition of the race, which saw the top four separated by just over 20 seconds going into the final 15 minutes, Kubica and his AF Corse co-drivers Philip Hanson and Ye Yifei (#83) finished just 14.084sec ahead of a Porsche (#6) driven by Kevin Estre, Matt Campbell and Laurens Vanthoor. In so doing they knocked the two factory Ferraris, who started the race as favourites, into third and fourth.  "It's been a long 24 hours but an enjoyable one. Gr...

49ers Robert Saleh Hypes Up Rising Linebacker

https://ift.tt/MeLXrvu 49ers Robert Saleh Hypes Up Rising Linebacker originally appeared on Athlon Sports . Robert Saleh was instrumental in turning the San Francisco 49ers defense into one of the best in the league during his time as defensive coordinator from 2017-2020. Then he went to be the head coach of the New York Jets for four underwhelming seasons while the 49ers remained a contender ... until last season's 6-11 collapse. Now Saleh is back in the Bay Area assuming his old job, leaving fans begging for him to guide the team back to their dominant ways of his first stint. This defense will look a lot different from last year, let alone the team Saleh ran before he left. The talent is there, but it won't be easy. One major loss is linebacker Dre Greenlaw, who signed with the Denver Broncos in free agency. Next to Fred Warner, the other starting backer was projected to be Dee Winters until the 49ers drafted Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin, who many expect to c...

Rory McIlroy begins second round of U.S. Open with two double bogeys in first three holes

https://ift.tt/HBr4Fxy After opening in 4-over 74, Rory McIlroy needed a good start Friday to get back in the U.S. Open mix. Didn't happen. McIlroy's tee shot at the par-4 first finished in an impossible lie in the left fairway bunker. He chopped out into the thick grass and played his third shot into the greenside rough. Rough start for Rory on Friday. It's an opening double bogey. He's now +6 for the championship. pic.twitter.com/WJWKSrr7Nm — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 13, 2025 McIlroy eventually carded a double-bogey 6 to fall to 6 over. He parred the second but again made double at the par-4 third — again driving into a fairway bunker — and fell outside the projected cut line at 8 over. McIlroy, who missed the cut last week in Canada, hasn't missed back-to-back cuts in a Tour season since May 2012. He has only three missed cuts in his last 21 majors starts. from Yahoo!

49ers defensive coordinator shares admiration for his quarterback

https://ift.tt/HBr4Fxy Through the first three years of his NFL career, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been really solid, leading the team to a 23-13 record in his 36 starts and completing 67.5% of his passes for 9,518 yards, 64 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. Considering San Francisco took Purdy with the final pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Iowa State , what he's accomplished to this point has been remarkable. That's why the 49ers decided to address the situation early and give their quarterback a massive five-year, $265 million extension earlier this offseason. While Purdy is now set for life financially, this new contract has brought out even more doubters than the Cyclone product has dealt with during his time in the league. However, Purdy does have plenty of supporters, including defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who is returning to San Francisco's sidelines after serving as the head coach of the New York Jets from 2021-24.

NBA Champion Has Strong Words For LeBron James After Recent Debate

https://ift.tt/SN9qyHX NBA Champion Has Strong Words For LeBron James After Recent Debate originally appeared on Athlon Sports . One player has seemingly been more criticized than any other in NBA history, and some of those criticisms are far from true. Coming into the 2022-23 season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sat on top of the NBA’s all-time scoring list with 38,387 points throughout his legendary career. Just three years later, and he is nowhere near the league’s newest all-time leading scorer. LeBron James famously broke Abdul-Jabbar’s record during that 2023 campaign, and he has only continued to add to his incredible totals. After finishing his 22nd season in the league, James now sits at 42,184 points. Despite his clear ability to put up points in bunches, James has rarely been put in discussions about the best scorers in NBA history. While it seems like a clear oversight to leave out the league’s all-time leading scorer in those discussions, it has led to an even more disrespect...

Christian Pulisic Has Honest USMNT Admission After Missing Recent Friendly Matches

https://ift.tt/KohA756 Christian Pulisic Has Honest USMNT Admission After Missing Recent Friendly Matches originally appeared on Athlon Sports . After receiving some backlash from former USMNT star Landon Donovan, Christian Pulisic has broken his silence. The team is currently making its final preparations for the Concacaf Gold Cup, but most of the focus is on Pulisic, who isn’t participating this summer. He was left off of the USMNT’s roster for their friendlies this month and also missed out on the squad for this summer’s tournament, a choice Pulisic decided was best for his body and the future of the team. He played 57 matches for club and country during the 2024-2025 season, believing it would be best if he took some time off to rest up. Christian Pulisic reveals that he DID want to be with the USMNT for the two friendlies against Türkiye and Switzerland — but said the federation wanted commitment for the entire summer through the Gold Cup. pic.twitter.com/3NTwQFsHPY — USMN...

https://ift.tt/HZn39Og From Baggio to Broke, From Pirlo to Panic - 114-Year Legacy Faces Oblivion originally appeared on Athlon Sports . Brescia Calcio, a 114-year-old Italian football titan, has crumbled into bankruptcy, ousted from professional leagues after financial turmoil. Once home to legends like Roberto Baggio and Pep Guardiola, the club’s collapse under owner Massimo Cellino’s mismanagement sparks outrage. Can new owners revive this storied legacy? Brescia’s descent began with a four-point deduction in the 2025 Serie B season for financial irregularities, sealing their relegation to Serie C per Sky Sports. Unable to settle a $3.4 million debt, the club lost its professional status, a devastating blow for fans. The Italian Football Federation confirmed the bankruptcy, leaving Brescia’s future uncertain.

Alternate lines? Why players likely won't be driving balls down adjacent fairways this time at Oakmont

https://ift.tt/l47NQnV OAKMONT, Pa. – It’s been almost four years since the world’s top amateurs zig-zagged their ways around Oakmont Country Club. Just don’t expect that kind of right-brain strategy again. Nasty rough and a recent renovation led by Gil Hanse are expected to all but mitigate competitors at this week’s U.S. Open opting to hit tee shots down adjacent fairways. Alternate lines were used by dozens of players on six tees during the 2021 U.S. Amateur , including Travis Vick, who was largely considered the trendsetter that week. By the time the championship reached match play, more than half the field were going down adjacent fairways while playing Nos. 1, 3, 9, 10, 11 and 14, though it's worth noting that the winner that week, James Piot, stuck to trying to find the short grass as originally intended. “I don’t think that’s going to be an issue,” said Hanse in a recent Fried Egg Golf interview . One longtime Oakmont member agreed, noting Hanse’s changes “made those ...

Broncos’ Evan Engram Has Strong Belief in Second-Year QB Bo Nix

https://ift.tt/6ePpVOo Broncos’ Evan Engram Has Strong Belief in Second-Year QB Bo Nix originally appeared on Athlon Sports . Evan Engram is one of many new faces joining the  Denver Broncos organization this year. Despite also being courted by the  Los Angeles Chargers , an AFC West Division rival, Engram eventually put pen to paper on a $23 million contract keeping him in Denver through the 2026 season. He revealed to reporters on Thursday that "everything about" his visit to Denver made him want to sign with the Broncos. Second-year  quarterback Bo Nix, a player who Engram kept tabs on during the former Oregon signal caller's debut season, could being included within that broader "everything." "I was always really observant of Bo Nix. It was, obviously, as a rookie, kind of a slow start last year. He was learning the game, but once he turned it on, you can see it all over the tape," Engram said. "Flying around for the [free agent] visits...

There's Reportedly ‘Significant Interest’ In K'Andre Miller Among Opposing Teams

https://ift.tt/maBtIUD The K’Andre Miller trade rumors are continuing to pick up steam. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman originally reported that the New York Rangers are beginning to explore the trade market on Miller. K'Andre Miller Reportedly Has Surgery For Apparent Upper-Body Injury K’Andre Miller might have been playing with an injury throughout the 2024-25 season for the New York Rangers that we just didn’t know of. At the NHL Draft Combine, Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects provided some more insight into this report.  “One player whose name keeps popping up at the Combine is K'Andre Miller,” Robinson wrote via X. “I'm told the Rangers have let teams know he's available, but clubs are weighing that option versus the Offer Sheet route. Appears to be significant interest in the 25-year-old.” Miller is set to become a restricted free agent on July 1 and a contract extension has still not been agreed upon while it’s unclear where negotiations stand at this poin...

Chase Briscoe wins third straight pole and NASCAR-high 4th pole at Michigan International Speedway

https://ift.tt/DjJ4GoR BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — Chase Briscoe won his third straight pole and NASCAR -high fourth this year at Michigan International Speedway on Saturday. Briscoe, driving the No. 19 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, turned a lap of 195.514 mph in qualifying on the 2-mile oval in the fastest pole in the Cup Series since Ryan Blaney went 200-plus mph at Texas in 2018. He is aiming for his first win this year after five top-five finishes, and the third victory of his career. “It will be nice starting up front and we’ve been able to do that now three weeks in a row but haven’t been able to execute with it," Briscoe said. “So, hopefully third time is a charm.” Kyle Busch, in the No. 8 Chevrolet, will start second Sunday in the FireKeepers Casino 400.

https://ift.tt/yKUD8nX CLEVELAND (AP) — Guardians ace Shane Bieber will not throw for seven days and will have his right elbow rechecked next week after experiencing soreness during a bullpen session on Tuesday. Bieber met with team doctors and consulted with specialist Dr. Keith Meister on Friday. The right-hander was scheduled to make his second rehab start with Double-A Akron on Friday before the setback. The seven-day shutdown started on Wednesday. He will be rechecked on June 13 before deciding the next steps. Experiencing soreness during rehab is not uncommon. Bieber underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April 2024. He began his rehab Saturday by throwing 2 1/3 scoreless innings in an Arizona Complex League game on his 30th birthday.
